Gieseking Constant
In mathematics, the Gieseking manifold is a cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold of finite volume. It is orientability, non-orientable and has the smallest volume among non-compact hyperbolic manifolds, having volume approximately V \approx 1.0149416. It was discovered by . The Gieseking manifold can be constructed by removing the vertices from a tetrahedron, then gluing the faces together in pairs using affine-linear maps. Label the vertices 0, 1, 2, 3. Glue the face with vertices 0, 1, 2 to the face with vertices 3, 1, 0 in that order. Glue the face 0, 2, 3 to the face 3, 2, 1 in that order. In the hyperbolic structure of the Gieseking manifold, this ideal tetrahedron is the canonical polyhedral decomposition of David B. A. Epstein and Robert C. Penner. Moreover, the angle made by the faces is \pi/3. The triangulation has one tetrahedron, two faces, one edge and no vertices, so all the edges of the original tetrahedron are glued together. The Gieseking manifold has a covering space ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mathematics
Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, Mathematical theory, theories and theorems that are developed and Mathematical proof, proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that contain them), Mathematical analysis, analysis (the study of continuous changes), and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics). Mathematics involves the description and manipulation of mathematical object, abstract objects that consist of either abstraction (mathematics), abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicspurely abstract entities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. Mathematics uses pure reason to proof (mathematics), prove properties of objects, a ''proof'' consisting of a succession of applications of in ...

Clausen Function
In mathematics, the Clausen function, introduced by , is a transcendental, special function of a single variable. It can variously be expressed in the form of a definite integral, a trigonometric series, and various other forms. It is intimately connected with the polylogarithm, inverse tangent integral, polygamma function, Riemann zeta function, Dirichlet eta function, and Dirichlet beta function. The Clausen function of order 2 – often referred to as ''the'' Clausen function, despite being but one of a class of many – is given by the integral: :\operatorname_2(\varphi)=-\int_0^\varphi \log\left, 2\sin\frac \\, dx: In the range 0 :\operatorname_2\left(-\frac+2m\pi \right) =-1.01494160 \ldots The following properties are immediate consequences of the series definition: :\operatorname_2(\theta+2m\pi) = \operatorname_2(\theta) :\operatorname_2(-\theta) = -\operatorname_2(\theta) See . General definition More generally, one defines the two generalized Clausen fun ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Geometric Topology
In mathematics, geometric topology is the study of manifolds and Map (mathematics)#Maps as functions, maps between them, particularly embeddings of one manifold into another. History Geometric topology as an area distinct from algebraic topology may be said to have originated in the 1935 classification of lens spaces by Reidemeister torsion, which required distinguishing spaces that are homotopy equivalent but not homeomorphic. This was the origin of simple homotopy, ''simple'' homotopy theory. The use of the term geometric topology to describe these seems to have originated rather recently. Differences between low-dimensional and high-dimensional topology Manifolds differ radically in behavior in high and low dimension. High-dimensional topology refers to manifolds of dimension 5 and above, or in relative terms, embeddings in codimension 3 and above. Low-dimensional topology is concerned with questions in dimensions up to 4, or embeddings in codimension up to 2. Dimensio ...

3-manifolds
In mathematics, a 3-manifold is a topological space that locally looks like a three-dimensional Euclidean space. A 3-manifold can be thought of as a possible shape of the universe. Just as a sphere looks like a plane (a tangent plane) to a small and close enough observer, all 3-manifolds look like our universe does to a small enough observer. This is made more precise in the definition below. Principles Definition A topological space M is a 3-manifold if it is a second-countable Hausdorff space and if every point in M has a neighbourhood that is homeomorphic to Euclidean 3-space. Mathematical theory of 3-manifolds The topological, piecewise-linear, and smooth categories are all equivalent in three dimensions, so little distinction is made in whether we are dealing with say, topological 3-manifolds, or smooth 3-manifolds. Phenomena in three dimensions can be strikingly different from phenomena in other dimensions, and so there is a prevalence of very specialized techniques t ...

List Of Mathematical Constants
A mathematical constant is a key number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. For example, the constant π may be defined as the ratio of the length of a circle's circumference to its diameter. The following list includes a decimal expansion and set containing each number, ordered by year of discovery. The column headings may be clicked to sort the table alphabetically, by decimal value, or by set. Explanations of the symbols in the right hand column can be found by clicking on them.

Trigamma Function
In mathematics, the trigamma function, denoted or , is the second of the polygamma functions, and is defined by : \psi_1(z) = \frac \ln\Gamma(z). It follows from this definition that : \psi_1(z) = \frac \psi(z) where is the digamma function. It may also be defined as the sum of the series : \psi_1(z) = \sum_^\frac, making it a special case of the Hurwitz zeta function : \psi_1(z) = \zeta(2,z). Note that the last two formulas are valid when is not a natural number. Calculation A double integral representation, as an alternative to the ones given above, may be derived from the series representation: : \psi_1(z) = \int_0^1\!\!\int_0^x\frac\,dy\,dx using the formula for the sum of a geometric series. Integration over yields: : \psi_1(z) = -\int_0^1\frac\,dx An asymptotic expansion as a Laurent series can be obtained via the derivative of the asymptotic expansion of the digamma function: :\begin \psi_1(z) &\sim \left(\ln z - \sum_^\infty \frac\right) \\ &= \fra ...

Dirichlet L-function
In mathematics, a Dirichlet L-series is a function of the form :L(s,\chi) = \sum_^\infty \frac. where \chi is a Dirichlet character and s a complex variable with real part greater than 1 . It is a special case of a Dirichlet series. By analytic continuation, it can be extended to a meromorphic function on the whole complex plane, and is then called a Dirichlet L -function and also denoted L ( s , \chi) . These functions are named after Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet who introduced them in to prove the Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions, theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions that also bears his name. In the course of the proof, Dirichlet shows that L ( s , \chi) is non-zero at s = 1 . Moreover, if \chi is principal, then the corresponding Dirichlet L -function has a simple pole at s = 1 . Otherwise, the L -function is entire function, entire. Euler product Since a Dirichlet character \chi is completely multiplicative, its L -function can also ...

Catalan's Constant
In mathematics, Catalan's constant , is the alternating sum of the reciprocals of the odd square numbers, being defined by: : G = \beta(2) = \sum_^ \frac = \frac - \frac + \frac - \frac + \frac - \cdots, where is the Dirichlet beta function. Its numerical value is approximately : Catalan's constant was named after Eugène Charles Catalan, who found quickly-converging series for its calculation and published a memoir on it in 1865. Uses In low-dimensional topology, Catalan's constant is 1/4 of the volume of an ideal hyperbolic octahedron, and therefore 1/4 of the hyperbolic volume of the complement of the Whitehead link. It is 1/8 of the volume of the complement of the Borromean rings. In combinatorics and statistical mechanics, it arises in connection with counting domino tilings, spanning trees, and Hamiltonian cycles of grid graphs. In number theory, Catalan's constant appears in a conjectured formula for the asymptotic number of primes of the form n^2+1 accordin ...
